The remaining nominee who has drawn the ire of the Democrats is Kash Patel, the prospective FBI Director.
According to RedState, Patel's performance during his confirmation hearing was commendable, demonstrating his qualifications for the role. Democratic Senator Adam Schiff from California launched into a tirade during the hearing, but Patel effectively countered his criticisms. Despite Democratic attempts to delay the voting process, Patel successfully passed the Senate Judiciary Committee vote. The full vote is scheduled for the following week, with Patel's confirmation highly anticipated. Schiff's reaction to these developments has been less than gracious.

In an ironic twist, the Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats shared a snippet of Schiff's rant against Patel. Schiff stated, "I’ve known Kash Patel since he was a staffer for Devin Nunes. He’s not someone you’d ever think of when you think of fidelity, bravery, integrity. Not when he was a staffer, not when he was in the Trump Administration." Schiff's audacity to question Patel's "fidelity, bravery, integrity" is striking, given his own questionable conduct.

Schiff, who was censured by the House for "misleading the American public and for conduct unbecoming of an elected Member of the House of Representatives" over the Russia hoax, is hardly in a position to question another's integrity. Some have suggested that Schiff's vehement opposition to Patel stems from Patel's instrumental role in debunking the Russia collusion narrative.

The Trump team's Rapid Response account did not hesitate to highlight Schiff's bitterness, tweeting, "When you're definitely not bitter the guy who exposed your fake Russia Hoax will soon be the Director of the FBI (and you still have a Pencil Neck)." Schiff, who received a pardon from Joe Biden as his term ended, may have his own skeletons to address.

Schiff's ascent to the Senate despite his questionable conduct raises questions about the Democrats' ability to promote deserving individuals. His vehement opposition to Patel's nomination suggests a fear of the potential challenges he may face once Patel is confirmed. This reaction, however, only serves to underscore Patel's suitability for the role of FBI Director. The conservative perspective would argue that Patel's confirmation will bring a much-needed balance to the FBI, a balance that Schiff and his ilk may find uncomfortable.
